IP pricing

Dear all,

I need to evaluate some options on whether we can afford to buy IP for an FPGA design or we have to develop it ourselves. However, it is impossible for me to find any prices... only to contact a sales person. Since I am on the engineering side and the project is in very very early conceptual stages, I would prefer to evaluate options without having to talk to all the sales teams that have relevant IPs. Is there somewhere a place that lists prices for IPs - are there any IP houses that publish prices openly?

Thank you Daniel! I registered to the website and maybe I'll get some answers back. I understand what you and John are saying about the IP. I am just wondering if there are other IP providers such as SiFive that provide a simple IP licensing and pricing model. I want to use some security -related IP and maybe some interfacing IP.

Then you should definitely contact SiFive and see about their DesignShare program:
